The statue, a hollow-cast bronze, is fully frontal with a ridged and stiff posture (Ridgway 1967: 46). The left foot is taking a step forward, but both feet are firmly planted on the ground. The chest is square and bulky, yet the features, such as the abdominal muscles and the pectoral muscles are barely defined because of a lack of modeling with the “omission of digitations or ribs” (Ridgway 1967: 50). The statue is in the nude, like archaic kouros are. The face is angular with high copper brows and copper lips that are demonstrating the prominent archaic smile. The face is almost feminine in its style with the graceful features (Ridgway 1967: 46). This is not what is normally expected of a face made in the Hellenistic era, where the focus would be on the naturalistic features and dramatic expressions. The eyes have not made it through the test of time and are now missing but they would have been made of a precious dark stone, glass, and bone, like archaic kouros. The hair looks like it is beaded, which is a characteristic of kouros but the actual style of the hair, tied back, is not representative of the archaic
